Taiden,Korea 1945/46
Some photos that my father took in Taiden Korea circa1945/46,the crashed C-47 was a 'Jungle Skipper', I don't know what the Japanese aircraft are, name that plane? Photo 8 is my father. By this time he was part of the mail unit, the building was their barracks/office. Luckily he didn't make a return trip in 1950.
That C-47 looks like it had been sittin' there quite a while...surprised they didn't salvage more than they apparently did. But, then again, there must've been a whole lotta C-47's up for grabs around that time.
I wonder if it's possible to track it down by the side numbers?
The biplane is an IJA Tachikawa Ki-9 "Spruce" trainer.
I knew you'd know, thanks
beat me to it. Nichimo made a really nice 1/48 kit of this that can still be found and is still a good kit despite being 30+ years old.
Robert, was your Father the eighth from the left, standing? Great photos! Thanks for sharing!
He's standing 1st on right middle row, thumbs in pockets, no smile just happy to be there.
Robert, good stuff, I love olds photo's. Thanks for sharing.
